What a priceless little 9/11 tribute!

Given your obvious propensity for jingoistic cliches, I looked through your archives and I couldn't find any similar tributes for equally, if not more significant calendar dates. Here's a few that immediately come to mind:

1. Sunday, 15-Apr-07: Holocaust Rememberance Day: Dedicated to remembering the 6,000,000+ Jews exterminated during WWII.

2. 6-August: 66,000 dead, 69,000 injured at Hiroshima.

3. 9-August: 39,000 dead, 25,000 injured at Nagasaki

4. 17-September: 23,000 casualties at Antietam in 1862.

5. 7-December: 2,333 killed, 1139 injured at Pearl Harbor.

The list could go on forever. But, I suppose wasting time on tributes to those events don't make GoogleCount++, do they?; Thursday, September 20, 2007 at 1:38:00 PM UTC

I'm reminded of a protester who said "Two bombs, too many".

To which a physicist replied - "one bomb not enough".

I understand patriotism is unfashionable these days. I have often bucked the trend. Just another instance.

As to google. I find that articles on pornography attract a crowd. Especially pornography in the Islamic world.; Thursday, September 20, 2007 at 1:50:00 PM UTC

"Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about." - M. Twain.

And exactly which physicist are you referring to? Certainly none from this group of Manhattan Project scientists and engineers led by Leo Szilard who petitioned Truman on July 17th, 1945 urging him not to use atomic weapons:

Patrio-fascists like you would classify all these folks as "unpatriotic"? Or mabye they're just a bunch of pussies!!

Here's great collection of bumper stickers for you:

Disclosure of Materiality

According to FTC regulations I am required to disclose any material benefit I receive from any blog post. OK. I get paid from Amazon if you order from any of the links provided. I will give you an honest opinion of any products I have ordered if I blog about them. If you don't trust me read the Amazon reviews. If there is no review you are on your own. If you pay me enough and promise to cover my lawyers fees I may say something nice about you. Or I may not. Enough is generally more than you can afford. Unless you have a a really really big bank account or more that a few large gold bars under the mattress. If you do pay I expect to be transported to a country with no extradition treaty with the US. If I review a book it may be because the author or publisher sent me a review copy. Other wise I will quote a review of some one else. If I say a product looks interesting it is because it interests me. Sometimes I will link to books so you can educate yourself on a subject and so I can make some off the sale. If some one employs me I will probably say good things about them as long as the money keeps coming. Or I may say nothing. To keep out of trouble with their lawyers. That covers most of what I can think of. I'm getting old and sometimes I don't think of everything. And if you have read this far please Buy Something From Amazon. I can use the money - well actually I will use the proceeds to buy something from Amazon. I get a better deal that way.
